Congress leaders in Punjab set up an onion langar to protest what they say is the central government's failure to curb soaring inflation.
Congress activists in Punjab organised a makeshift kitchen serving free onion dishes, a symbolic "langar" aimed at highlighting the impact of rising food prices on ordinary citizens.
The party accused the Union government of being completely ineffective in taming inflation, asserting that the ruling BJP has failed on every front.
The protest, staged in multiple locations across the state, is intended to pressure the Centre to take more decisive measures to bring down the cost of essential commodities.
Party officials said the onion langar underscores the daily hardships faced by families as prices continue to surge, and they called for immediate policy action to alleviate the burden.
